Copyright. 1887. by the California associated Press
WASHINGTON, June 5th.-[Special.] ]-Pri-
yate advices from the United States steamer
Iroquois indicate that the reported bad
condition of this vessel is confined to the
state of her decks. They were laid in Ore
gon pine in 1912, and as this material is
not as durable as Eastern pine, the wear
and tear of five years of constant service in
commission has been sufficient to render
the decks almost useless. The ship will
probably be ordered to San Francisco to be
repaired, if the repairs can be made within
twenty per cent. of the cost of the vessel

Re<aa ON Free Passe. i.

The Hon. J. Ii. Regain, of Texas,
has been interviewed on the pro-
hibition of free passes by the Inter
State Commerce bill, and here is
what he said:
THE law depends greatly on the
Interpretation pat upon it by rail-
road men, and by the commission
to be appointed by the President.
The effect of the law upon any par
ticular person or class was not con-
sidered. It was made for the gen.
eral good. Some may benefit and
some may suffer, but the general
effect will be good to the greater
number of the people. The Inter-
State Commerce bill is law of the
general Government, and the gen.
eral Government has no authority
to interfere with commerce wholly
within any one State. For instance,
apy railroad has a perfect right to
give passes or any special rate they
may please wholly within the bor-
ders of any one State, but as soon
as they cross the border into an
other State they lay themselves IL
able to the law. The general Gov
eminent has no right to interfere
with commerce wholly within the
State of New York, any moro than
New York has a right to regulate
commerce partly in New York and
partly in any adjoining State, but
the general Government has a per-
feet right to regulate that COM
merce which the States cannot reg
ulate."

THE LOTTERY BILL.

While Governor Stevenson has
given no intimation of what he will
do on the Lottery bill, be has in
vited all lawyers who can throw
any light on the constitutiouality
of the matter to favor him with
their views. He thinks the bill
would place large sum in that part
of the Treasury where it was most
needed, but has doubts as to the
rights of the Legislature to confer
powers upon a corporation contin-
gent upon the ratification of a con-
stituti0nal amendment. He has
consulted several leading lawyers
upon this point, and it is also prob
able that Judge Mesick, of San
Francisco, who is specially sound
on these intricate questions, will
be called upon to give a written
opinion. The lawyers, SO far as
have been interviewed upon the
subject, pronounce it perfectly
constitutional, and the new bill is
almost unanimously endorsed by
the press, as fair proposition sub
mitted to the people. Ii the
amendment regarding lotteries car
ries at the next election, nothing is
to prevent a new company forming
which can fix the State tax at $40
900 instead of $40, 900, and pay out
the balan nee in a corruption fund to
the Legislature, saving enough by
this trickery to make themselves
more than even, and that, too, at
the States expense.

THE CAR STRIKE FAILS.

The San Francisco car strike
has failed after struggle of sew
cral months against the cable road
monopoly. The men who struck
had good cause to resist the ag-
gresslons of the road with its low
wages and long hours. The strike
was provoked by the company and
the carmen bad the sympathy of
the public from the first. The mo-
ment it looked as if the strike was
going to be success nearly every
body wanted to become one of the
Executive Committee and run the
machine Then came the dyna-
mite outrages which lost the
strikers all the prestige they had
gained. The strikers should have
at once placed a sufficient guard
along the track to have prevented
those occurrences and they should
have prevented hoodlums from in
sult;ng women and children.
The bus lines were put on and
the men who got hold of the money
put it into their own pocket instead
of recognizing the Executive Com
mittee. In an affair of that kind
there ought net to be more than
one treasurer. While the men
running the bus lines were living
like fighting cocks, the other
strikers were almost starving. The
idea that the good of each was the
concern Of ali was ignored. and after
a row among themselves over the
division of the receipts the strike
collapsed. The money spent every
year by the laboriEg men of San
Francisco for whlskey and tobacco
would build three paying cable
roads.
